Jeff Mills has changed the way all of us think about Detroit techno.  He make
his music the way he wants to.  He plays his records the way he wants to.  We
all do the exact same same when we make our music and spin our records.  But,
sometimes I think just because he's popular and makes money doing what we all do
I feel that some people are to judgemental on him.  Imagine doing what you love
and making a good living at it.  "Music is and artform that society labels,
packages and sells. And just because someones music sells well doesn't make them
a sell out."
